Wedding Party

Colbie Krier

Junior Maid of Honor

Colbie is Makenzie’s first born. She loves being a big sister and spending time with her family. Her favorite things to do include swimming, going to the park or playing in the back yard, and snuggling with her mama. If you’re wondering, the key to Colbie’s heart is rainbow unicorns and M&M’s.

Montana Peterson

Maid of Honor

Montana is Makenzie’s younger sister. She may just be the funniest one in the bridal party & loves being social with friends and family. Makenzie and Montana are very close, and she wouldn’t feel right without Montana by her side on the big day!

Jenna Martin

Bridesmaid

Jenna and Makenzie met years ago through mutual friends and instantly became the best of friends. Jenna is Makenzie’s go-to for anything and everything. Jenna is an amazing mom herself and her and Makenzie love to get their kids together, order take out, and drink a glass of wine - or, enjoy a moms night out every now and then!

Kennedy Knuth

Bridesmaid

Makenzie and Kennedy have known each other for almost 15 years now! When Makenzie and Kennedy’s moms became best friends, and so did Makenzie and Kennedy. Some of Makenzie’s favorite memories with Kennedy include hiding together from Kennedy’s sleepwalking brother, and many 4th of July’s at Lake Poinsett.

Megan Heiter

Bridesmaid

Megan and Makenzie began their friendship years ago when they met at work. Megan makes work much more enjoyable, and is always there for Makenzie with a listening ear…. What started with running across the street together for coffee during work hours turned into Saturdays spent shopping and long hours of gossiping very quickly. Megan is a great friend, but there is a chance she’s late to the wedding. Makenzie loves her anyway!

Sydnie Buchiem

Bridesmaid

Makenzie and Sydnie met when Brandon and Makenzie first began dating. Sydnie has been with Tyler (Brandon’s brother) since they were in high school & they have a baby boy named Jordy. Makenzie and Sydnie love spending time together and can’t wait to watch their kids grow up together. Makenzie couldn’t have asked for a better sister-in-law!

Charli Peterson

Bridesmaid

Charli is Makenzie’s youngest sister, these two are also very close and enjoy having sleepovers at Makenzie’s house. Makenzie and Charli are pretty similar in a few ways; they are both extremely forgetful, both love to relax and lounge around, and they are both very creative!

Tyler Hintz

Best Man

Tyler and Brandon grew up 4 years apart. There are many stories of head locks and one brother being thrown through the wall, but more than anything these 2 have a very close relationship and it wouldn’t make sense to Brandon to have anyone else standing next to him on the big day. Now that they are both Dads they enjoy sneaking away for shots of whiskey and discussing the future D1 athletes that they are raising.

Brandon Adema

Groomsman

Brandon and Brandon (you might be confused all night) met in preschool. They became absolute best friends when on the first day of kindergarten, both boys had brought a GI Joe action figure in their pencil case. A few years later Brandon A. had to move to Minnesota, but it didn’t stop the boys, they would spend 1 month out of the summer and half of their Christmas break together while growing up.

Morgan Engbrecht

Groomsman

Morgan and Brandon met at a 3rd grade football practice and became the best of friends. Morgan moved to Sturgis, SD his freshman year of high school, but the boys would visit each other often. 4 years later Morgan moved back to attend Augustana university. What used to be wild bar nights has now turned into weeknight dinners with their families, and neither would change it for a thing!

Cain Scott

Groomsman

Brandon and Cain became friends in college where they thoroughly enjoyed beating everyone playing 2 on 2 basketball. They became roommates after college and spent years being inseparable. They used to love going to parties together and going on group vacations, now they enjoy getting their sons together and getting away for a few drinks every chance they get.

Austin Krumbach

Groomsman

Austin and Brandon met years ago through Brandon’s brother Tyler, and they were all good friends. It wasn’t until after Makenzie and Brandon started dating that Brandon realized he was dating his friends little sister! Austin has been hanging out with the Hintz boys for years, and now every time they are together he gets to see his sister too!

Ayden Gebauer

Groomsman

Ayden is Brandon’s youngest brother, and most favorite guy to pick on. Brandon was 18 years old when Ayden was born and has loved watching him grow up. Ayden will most likely be cheers-ing with a big glass of root beer, and if there is a football at the reception, hide it from these two!

Rylee O’Neal

Rylee got married in September of 2022, so when Makenzie and Brandon first got engaged, Rylee was inevitably the one answering all of Makenzie’s questions. Makenzie had to make it official and asked Rylee to be the wedding planner! (Like she had much of a choice 😜)
